The song contains an autobiographical account of lead singer Salif "A'Salfo" Traoré about his ex-girlfriend who tried to hook up with him again when he became famous.

"1er Gaou" is based on autobiographical experiences of lead singer Salif "A'Salfo" Traoré.

When he was an aspiring, poor artist, his girlfriend left him, but when he became a celebrity with Magic System, she tried to win him back, but Traoré turned her down.

When it was remixed in 2002 and released in France for Mélina Forthin, Magic System's song became a major indie hit there as well.

The first one shows Magic System in their native Abidjan, with Traoré being left by his girlfriend at first before she comes back.
